My cause is protecting our oceans from pollution. Growing up in Puerto Rico, the ocean was my life. I would go to beaches almost daily to fish and surf. I cannot recall how many times I have seen beaches littered with trash or going fishing and reeling in a plastic bag. After one too many of those experiences, I decided to do my part and clean up local beaches with groups of friends. If one small group of people can make a difference, supporting a large organization that is dedicated to that cause can have a bigger impact. Funding through CFC would positively impact my cause. With more people supporting the cause, more can be accomplished.

End of Watch
The cop genre can be a little tired, but few have explored it as thoroughly as David Ayer. Ayer wrote the modern crooked cop movie, Training Day with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, and he's written and directed a handful of other cop dramas based in South Central Los Angeles. Ayer's latest, End of Watch, has some of the same tropes at his previous movies crookedness in the force, the bond between two partners, the push and pull between family and career but our protagonists' biggest test is the street itself, not each other.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña are partners and best friends who sling racist insults at each other as often as they pledge their loyalty. As Brian Taylor (Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Peña), they are instantly likeable; they're goofy, foul-mouthed brothers who are on the beat in South Central LA. They're definitely not always above board, and they're a little smug about a recent bust; they want to find another big catch, but when they do, it lands them in the middle of a turf war and something way bigger than they could have anticipated. It's ugly, it's graphic, and it is, in some ways, a bit salacious in its portrayal of the violence most of us merely read about in the papers.
The conceit that Ayer uses to bring the viewer in close is that Brian is filming their work for a filmmaking class he's taking. Besides the dubious legality, there are plenty of times when it's impossible for Brian to be filming, so Ayers only uses this device when it's most convenient. At other times, the camera moves to a typical third-person POV or even as if we were looking at footage from the in-car camera of a police chase. The most unbelievable aspect of the handheld camera is when the gangsters they're after are filming themselves at parties or on drive-bys. While it's interesting and effective insofar as it brings us up right into the action, it's just not logical. At one point, Ayer even uses night vision for a suddenly and weirdly introduced enemy. On one hand, the use of Brian's footage (and how much it ticks off his fellow cops) is quite effective, but on the other, it's simply illogical. We're supposed to believe that this is indicative of Brian's goals, his desire to grow past the life of an officer on the beat and start a family and all that, but at the same time, there's not much backing that idea up. Although the family angle comes in later, it doesn't seem likely that Brian will give up life with his partner without a big push in another direction.
Ayer deftly switches between the violence of the job and the cops' intimate conversations in their car, their regular, off-duty lives and the bravado among officers jockeying for position on the force. The type of events Brian and Mike encounter can be stomach-turning; even the cops turn away before the camera offers the audience a look at what they've encountered. It's shocking at times, and graphic in a way that's different than a horror movie or a shoot-'em-up like The Expendables 2. It sticks with you after the credits have rolled.
End of Watch also grabs you emotionally, although sometimes it is a bit too on the nose. There are more than enough scenes where characters get drunk and mournful about the lifespan or lifestyle of a cop. Brian, who is a bit of a womanizer, finally meets a woman he can't believe would go for a cop, Janet (Anna Kendrick). Kendrick isn't given a lot to do, but when she's onscreen, she brings some levity to this grim business. Mike's wife Gabby (Natalie Martinez) also has quite a few zingers, although her screen time is even less than Kendrick's.
There aren't many other notable female characters. It's great to see America Ferrera play against her Traveling Pants type as a police officer who comes from the neighborhood and knows the people she's up against. Although the butch lesbian cop is played-out, Ferrera does a good job bringing Orozco to life. There's also a hint that she was once romantically involved with the female leader of the Latin gang that's taking over South Central. The various gang members and other people the cops meet on their beat are fairly flat, too; they're just the bogeymen and women who haunt cops on the streets and in their nightmares. There are some references about a street code and the changing gangs of South Central, but it's more of a plot device than anything else.
In the end, though, this isn't a sociological study; this is a portrait of a friendship. End of Watch has a lot to offer for fans of the genre, especially if they've got their Kleenex at the ready.

Ailing AstraZeneca Should Go Shopping for Deals
Pascal Soriot, the new chief executive of AstraZeneca, said Thursday that the company didn't need to do a large acquisition to stem the hemorrhages in revenue it's suffering as drugs come off patent. The company has almost all the intellectual property and skills it needs in house to turbo-charge sales again, he said, with the help of some smart portfolio management and a few bolt-on deals.
But many investors, after four consecutive quarters of revenue declines, may still feel the need for a dose of deal medicine.
Credit Suisse, in a note published prior to AstraZeneca's fourth quarter and full year results Thursday, said it believed the company would need to spend around $20 billion in acquisitions to generate a meaningful uplift in revenues.
Analysts at Credit Suisse said:
"Our scenario analysis indicates that over $6 billion of annual sales would need to be added by 2016 to turn the 4% annual revenue decline we forecast today into just 2% sales growth.
"On a sales multiple of 3.5 this would suggest more than $20 billion of acquisition expense, and with plenty of competition for attractive deals."
It's unclear whether Dr. Soriot, a former executive with Roche A.G. who was brought in last October to head AstraZeneca, genuinely is happy working with what he's got in AstraZeneca's existing portfolio or whether he's seeking to avoid sparking a frantic round of speculation about possible targets.
He didn't rule out what he described as "disruptive" acquisitions and suggested that "business development"–industry code for deals–was likely to play a part in the company's strategy.
There is already plenty of speculation about what AstraZeneca should buy. Targets identified by analysts and in the press as worthy of AstraZeneca's attention include London-listed ADHD specialist Shire Forest Laboratories and AbbVie–the newly spun-off unit of Abbott Laboratories. Astra declined to comment on any of these.
Many analysts agree that a very large, transformational deal–and Shire and AbbVie would certainly both fall into this category due to their size–is unlikely.
But most are struggling to see another obvious route to growth than deals. Navid Malik, an analyst with Cenkos Securities in London, remarked in a note Thursday that most of the key products AstraZeneca cited Thursday as "growth drivers"–among them asthma medicine Symbicort and lung cancer treatment Iressa–are actually fairly established and thus unlikely to generate a meaningful spike in sales. While it's possible the company has a blockbuster in early-stage research, there's not enough visibility on this to get investors' juices flowing.
Meanwhile Citigroup analysts, commenting Thursday, can't see an obvious alternative to more deals.
"Weak revenue guidance, continuing to hold the share buyback and a dividend that hasn't grown for the first time in at least 10 years all point to potential alternative uses of cash," Citigroup said. "We think small to mid-sized deals are likely and potentially the biggest determinant of EPS changes in the next few years."
Dr. Soriot's remarks Thursday played up the strength of AstraZeneca's biological drugs portfolio. Nevertheless, the consensus among analysts is that one or more acquisitions in this sector is the most likely outcome for the company.
AstraZeneca was contacted, but declined to comment.

The bout is one of the year's most anticipated match-ups given the talent each possesses and the fact both own past wins over the other. Whether Dos Santos will score another knockout or Velasquez will make it two straight remains to be seen, but there's no question when it comes to how entertaining the outing should be. Dos Santos recently offered up his thoughts on Velasquez in a conversation captured by UFC.com, shedding a little light on his approach to Velasquez this time around and why he's certain it won't be the last time the two talented heavyweights cross paths.

For the past week or so I have been stooped over in a depression, because after hearing the news that Radical Ducati would be shutting its doors after 15 years of incredible custom motorcycle building, I am just not sure if life is worth living. That's a bit of hyperbole of course, but we are, like many, selfishly saddened to see that Pepo and Reyes will be moving onto bigger and better things.
So, it is with some irony that we bring you the last motorcycle to come from Radical Ducati — ironic because the machine is not one of RAD's mix-matched Ducati's, which has given the small Spanish firm such notoriety, but instead the motorcycle is a BMW, with the same unique style and flare. Dubbed the BMW R90 Interceptor, the machine is a joint project between Radical Ducati and MaxBOXER.

Eighteen months ago, Chip Yates filed for a patent on his front-end KERS design for motorcycles, which means that today the United States Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO) can disclose Yates's patent application to the public. Detailing the only front-wheel regenerative-braking system for motorcycles that we know to exist, the design built by Yates allows a motorcycle to scavenge power from the braking force applied to the front wheel of a motorcycle, and store it in an electric battery system.
Current regenerative-braking systems on the market, like the ones that help power the 2012 Zero S that we tested just a few months ago, use regenerative-braking off the rear wheel, and are more prone to locking the rear tire up if too much force is applied to the system. With 70% or more of a bike's potential braking force coming from the front wheel, a front-end KERS system has a substantially greater ability to put power back into an electric motorcycle's battery pack, thus either increasing the range of an electric motorcycle or allowing more electric power to be used over the same distance.

CAIRO/JERUSALEM, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Israeli and Palestinian officials said on Monday they had agreed to extend a Gaza ceasefire by another 24 hours to allow time for the sides to continue negotiations for terms of a possible agreement.
The deal was confirmed in Cairo and then Jerusalem minutes before a five-day ceasefire was due to expire. A Palestinian official close to the talks in Cairo said the extension would give both sides time "to complete the negotiations".
An Israeli official and security source said in Jerusalem that "on Egypt's request the ceasefire shall be extended by 24 hours to allow further negotiations."

welcome to the journalism department
The SCSU Journalism Department offers an array of courses taught by full-time faculty who are veteran journalists, as well as part-time faculty currently working in the field.
Students may apply to the Journalism Department for acceptance as majors as freshmen or at any point throughout their academic career. Those who apply after beginning their classes at Southern must have a 2.0 minimum GPA.
Journalism majors begin the sequence of writing courses needed to fulfill their graduation requirements by taking JRN 200 - Basics of Journalism. This usually happens after the student has completed the prerequisite for the course, ENG 112.
Students start their technology courses with JRN 135 - Digital Media Skills, which introduces them to the various tools and skills needed to work in new media, broadcast and photography.
Students can get an introduction to the broad topic of journalism and the First Amendment by taking JRN 101 -The Media: Freedom & Power. JRN 101 and JRN 135 are requirements for Journalism majors, and options for non-majors in the Liberal Education Program.
We offer Bachelor of Arts, and Bachelor of Science degrees. Either degree provides the liberal arts background necessary for careers in news media and allied fields, such as business and public service, and for law school or other related graduate programs. Students receive an education using up-to-date technological software and equipment. Both programs require students to select a cognate to focus on a second area of study for four courses, three of them at the 300-level or higher.
We also encourage students to participate in a variety of student media organizations, including the student newspaper, magazine, television station and radio station.
The department also awards annual scholarships to students.

India remains non-committal on supporting French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde for the top job at the International Monetary Fund. Lagarde visited the Indian capital during a campaign to counter opposition from emerging nations to the seven-decade convention of having a European IMF leader.
After meeting French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde in New Delhi, Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee extended no assurances about India's support for her candidacy.
Mukherjee reiterated that India wants the job to go to the best candidate.
"We want selection of the managing director of IMF or that of the World Bank should be on the basis of merit, competence in a transparent manner, not according to any particular nationality," said Mukherjee.
Lagarde's visit to India is part of a tour to gather support for her bid for the job, which fell vacant after IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested on sexual assault charges. She is focusing on emerging nations, which have criticized the tradition of a European IMF head as obsolete. Lagarde came to New Delhi from Brazil, and next travels to China.
After meeting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the finance minister and finance officials, Lagarde said she agreed with Indian officials the selection process should be open, transparent and merit-based.
"We also agreed on the fact that nationality, region of origin, should not either prejudice or privilege a particular candidate," she said.
Lagarde said Indian officials had "positive views" on her credentials. She said many countries will decide whom to back only after the last date for applying for the job closes on June 10.
Indian officials did not say whether emerging countries will name their own candidate for the IMF job. Finance Minister Mukherjee said "there is a divergence of views in respect of different candidates," indicating there is no consensus.
Developing economies have been lobbying for a greater role in the governance of financial institutions, pointing to their growing role in the global economy.
Lagarde promised to support more representation for countries like India, China and Brazil, saying emerging nations need more focus at the IMF.
"I think that process is an ongoing process," she said. "There has to be a constant review of the relationship between the size of the economy, its contribution to world GDP, and its population has to be clearly taken into account, and its voice and quota at the IMF."
Another candidate for the job, Mexico Central Bank Governor Agustin Carstens, also is expected to visit India this week.

text: NEWPORT CITY - Physician assisted suicide, known as the Death with Dignity Bill, continues to be a hot button issue in Vermont.Rep. Duncan Kilmartin of Newport City said during Monday's Legislative Breakfast that some lawmakers are calling the bill physician prescribed suicide, because physicians are ones who will give the "lethal cocktail." "Courageous, thoughtful people in the senate and the prayers of many defeated the forces and big money from outside Vermont who want to make doctors become partners to suicide with the blessing and intervention of the State of Vermont," said Kilmartin said. "Make no mistake about it, the original bill was fueled by outside money, some of it landing right here in Orleans County."Kilmartin, who said he can't predict what will happen in the House, said the bill that the Senate sent over preserves patient end of life choices and their privacy without the state telling the patients how to end their lives.For more on this story, read Tuesday's edition of the Newport Daily Express for Feb. 26, 2013.

MLB.com's Todd Zolecki says that the 2012 option isn't as big a deal as it's made out to be, and that Easy Eddie himself is personally acquainted with the Phillies' Single-A team:
Sources said yesterday that Oswalt would waive his no-trade clause to play in Philadelphia, which echoed what Oswalt said Monday. Sources also said his $16 million club option for 2012 is not the sticking point it has been made to be, indicating Oswalt might not make the Phillies pick up the option, if it meant being traded or remaining in Houston...
...It remains to be seen if the Phillies and Astros can agree on prospects. The Astros have scouted left-hander J.A. Happ, which indicates he could be part of the deal. Astros general manager Ed Wade personally scouted Class A Lakewood recently. (Hint, hint, they know the talent in Lakewood very well.)
Okay. Here's Lakewood's stat page. Any guesses?

Zolecki: Roy might not make the Phillies pick up that option

Jonathan Singleton HAS to be the guy we are after and probably the sticking point in the trade. Big power prospect at 1B with very good plate discipline at such a young age. Hitting .319 with a 44:45 BB:K ratio, 12 bombs and 18 doubles in 69 games.
P Jarred Cosart is another quality looking player. Give me Happ and Singleton and anything beyond that would be gravy at this stage.

Wanted to add that Singleton has dead-even splits and has even stolen 6 bags. He is the guy we need, bottom line.

LEXINGTON—Dawson County has a new chairman at the helm.
Commissioners elected Bill Stewart of Lexington as the board chairman during their annual statutory meeting Tuesday.
He takes over for Roger Bauer of Overton, who served as chairman for the past year.
Dean Kugler of Gothenburg was elected as vice chairman.
The board also made its annual appointments to county offices—keeping all current employees in place—and Stewart assigned commissioners to their previous committees.
County depositories were selected and include all banks in Dawson County. The Tri-City Tribune will publish legal notices for the coming year and the Lexington Clipper-Herald will print commissioner proceedings.
The board approved 11 courthouse holidays as well.
In other business, commissioners granted two special designated liquor licenses for Wild Horse Golf Club.
Wild Horse pro Don Graham told the board the club house at the golf course is a little small for two upcoming events.
The Gothenburg Memorial Hospital Gala and the Ducks Unlimited banquet have both been hosted by Wild Horse.
Graham said the Monsanto Water Utilization Learning Center has a larger facility that would suit both events better.
The special designated liquor license would allow Graham and golf course employees to serve alcohol at the events at the Monsanto building.

Manchester police search for ex-wife in slashing incident
May 01. 2014 10:00AM
MANCHESTER – Police are searching for a woman they say slashed her ex-husband with a knife during an argument over custody of their young daughter.
The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to a local hospital for treatment of slash wounds to his head and shoulder. Sgt. Richard Brennan said the injuries are not life-threatening.
The incident happened about 8:30 a.m. Thursday at 82 Aaron Drive.
Brennan said the couple's routine is to exchange custody of their daughter at the home where the man now lives with his new wife.
He said the child was already inside the home when her parents argued over who had custody because it was school vacation week.
The woman slashed her former husband with a knife while they were arguing in the garage area of the home, Brennan said. He said the child did not see what happened.
The two-story home is located off Bodwell Road in the southeastern part of the city. The city's online assessors' database lists the owner as Mikkenna M. Maia.

Safety in numbers
Buckeyes building strong defense with Bryant, Barnett
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Safeties are the players farthest removed from the action.
Yet they'll be in the middle of Ohio State's hopes this fall.
Starters Christian Bryant and C.J. Barnett account for 50 percent of the seniors on the defensive side for the Buckeyes. They've been through a lot, with three coaches in their college careers, weathering a dreary 6-7 record two years ago and playing important roles in the 12-0 bounce-back season of 2012.
With most of the defensive front seven gone, they're being asked to not only be major contributors on the field but also to be instructors for all of the younger guys stepping into starting roles for the first time.
"It's on our shoulders," Barnett said. "Me and Christian, being seniors ... it's a duty for us. We've got to stand up to the challenge. Everybody is going to be looking to us."
|Ohio State*
|Penn State
|Michigan State
|* Overall champion, as selected by media.
For a young defense, the two wizened veterans in the secondary are key.
"I like the leadership in the back end of our defense, that's Christian Bryant, that's C.J. Barnett," head coach Urban Meyer said. "I'm real pleased with that."
A quick look at last year's stats underscores their importance.
They are among the top four returning tacklers from a year ago. Bryant was second to returning linebacker Ryan Shazier with 70 tackles, including one interception, a fumble recovery and 12 passes broken up.
Barnett was fourth in stops with 56, including 2.5 for losses, and also had two interceptions and six breakups. Corey "Pittsburgh" Brown also returns as a backup for the Killer Bs at safety.
"I think it's important that those guys who have played a lot of snaps here — Christian Bryant, C.J. Barnett, Corey Brown — those guys have been around this program a long time and have a lot invested in it," co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Everett Withers said. "It's really important that they show leadership, not just in the defense room but throughout our football team. That they help us with our young guys.
"The Ohio State way — they know it."
Cornerback Bradley Roby, who was third in tackles with 63, is currently working out with the second team as part of his punishment for a summer skirmish with a Bloomington, Ind., bar bouncer. Roby may face additional sanctions, pending the outcome of his legal case.
Roby's situation adds to the problems for the defense, which may have the top four tacklers from last season but is missing the next eight on the list.
Asked if the safeties must set the tone for the unit, Bryant doesn't mince words.
"I would say so right now, just because of the experience and the leadership that we have coming back in the secondary," he said. "All of the older guys in the secondary are trying to do a good job of leading the young guys in the right direction, showing them the way. Because, like [running backs coach Stan] Drayton always says, 'They have no idea what they're getting themselves into right now.'"
How well Bryant and Barnett do may well determine just how good Ohio State is.
A year ago, Ohio State was seen as a relatively talented team, but one that was coming off a losing season. There were a lot of question marks with a new regime coming in.
But a strong core of seniors helped turn the tide, transforming a team with a lot of concerns to one with no losses.
"It's important that their leadership comes out," Withers said of Bryant and Barnett. "We had great leadership last year and you saw where it got us."

Tie-Dye with All-Natural Dyes
All those items that stain your clothes can actually be used for a fun art creation..have your child use those staining items to make a natural dye for making her own tie-dyed clothes. Tie dying became popular in the 1960s, but using natural dyes has been around for thousands of years. Even fabric used in the tomb of King Tutankhamen was dyed using natural pigments!
What You Need:
- White cotton clothing, like a plain T-shirt
- White vinegar
- 2 beets, chopped
- Rubber bands
- Large stockpot
What You Do:
- Before beginning to make the natural dye for the tie-dye, invite your child to prepare her item for dying. Unlike manufactured dyes, natural dyes need a little help setting in fabric. Creating a fixative for the fabric to soak in ensures the natural dye will set in the fabric. She can simmer her white cotton item in a mixture of four parts water to one part white vinegar for an hour in a stockpot and then rinse with cold water.
- Now it's time to make her natural dye! There are several plant items that create colorful dyes. Onion skins make a yellow dye, beets a dark pink, red cabbage a purple, and blueberries a light blue, just to name a few.
- Start with beets, since they set into fabric easily. Invite your child to help chop the beets and place them in the stockpot. Now she can add 4 cups water and bring the dye to a simmer over medium heat.
- To create her tie-dye, encourage your child to pull and twist sections of her cotton material and then secure with tightly with wound rubber bands. She can keep twisting and tying until there's no fabric left!
- Now she can carefully place her cloth in the dye and let it simmer for an hour. Then, she can turn off the heat and let the fabric sit in the dye until it comes to room temperature.
- Invite your child to remove her fabric and give it a good squeeze to release some of the dye. Now she can carefully remove the rubber bands and see what her fabric looks like!
Naturally-dyed fabric will be lighter once it's dry, and should be laundered separately in cold water.

- The networks were built within defined biological boundaries for inclusion of signaling pathways within particular context (species, tissues, cell types, experiment types)
- The network models are encoded in the Biological Expression Language (BEL), a highly specific biological language that describes biological relationships in computable form, specifying protein abundance, activity or modifcation information as well as tissue, species or experiment context information.
- The network models provide a high degree of granularity capturing biological molecules including protein, DNA variants, coding and non-coding RNA, chemicals, lipids, methylation states or other modifications (e.g., phosphorylation), as well as disease mechanisms.
- The nodes in the network models are connected by causally related edges.
- Most causal edges in the network models are supported by at least one (often multiple) literature reference and are annotated with a variety of metadata, including species, tissue and cell type.
- The networks are evolving and all different versions are made available in CBN. 98 first generation networks describing lung and vascular biology have been published in six peer-reviewed articles. 50 network models have been consolidated from the 92 lung-relevant networks and enriched with COPD-relevant mechanisms and represent the second generation network models. In addition to peer review, those models have undergone a refinement by experts from the scientific community via the network verification challenge (https://bionet.sbvimprover.com). Further refinement is still under way and new versions will be included in future releases of the database.

The Williams Observatory, named in honor of John H. Williams, a prominent Frederick banker, opened its doors to students in January 1925. A lifelong resident of Frederick County, Williams was born in Flat Run, Md., south of Emmitsburg, on April 19, 1814, the son of Captain and Mrs. Henry Williams. His father was a farmer and a prominent Revolutionary War hero and a personal friend of Washington and Lafayette. John Williams attended public schools in Emmitsburg and later graduated from Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pa.
Williams married the former Eleanor C. Shriver, the daughter of Judge Abraham Shriver, a Frederick County Circuit Court judge for more than 40 years. The couple, married for 55 years, had two children, Margaret Janie (Jeanette), known as Janet, and Henry Eleanor who died on March 8, 1892.
Williams began his career as a lawyer, coming to Frederick in 1833 to study law with a prominent Frederick County lawyer of the time, William Schley. Schley was one of the most competent and successful barristers and pleaders of his time. He had a reputation for being an excellent judge of character, full of common sense, plain-speaking and logical. In Schley, Williams had an excellent mentor. During the time he practiced law, he acquired a large and influential clientele, representing some of the most prominent interests in the county at the time.
He practiced law until 1846 when he began working at Frederick County National Bank. In 1849 he also became the editor of the Frederick Examiner, the local newspaper. In 1864, while working as a cashier at the bank, the city of Frederick paid a $200,000 ransom to the Confederate Army to save the town. Funds were provided by the city's five financial institutions. Williams became president of the bank in 1867, a title he held until 1887. He had a reputation for directing the bank with foresight and possessing excellent executive capacity.
Well-represented, he was characterized by those who knew him as a considerate, thoughtful, just and generous gentleman. From his father he inherited the spirit of colonial citizenship. At one time he was the last surviving son in Maryland of a Revolutionary War officer.
The Williams family lived in a mansion on South Market Street in Frederick, and Williams was very family-oriented. His home life was one of affection, culture, refinement and books. He was active in the Presbyterian Church and was known for his support of community causes.
Williams died Nov. 11, 1896 of a stroke after an illness of several years. He is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Frederick next to his wife.
Williams Observatory, built in 1924 to honor his memory through a bequest from his daughter, M. Janet Williams, was dedicated in conjunction with the 1925 Commencement.
The building was renovated in 1985 and was used as a laboratory and teaching facility by students enrolled in astronomy. The observatory, the only one available for the study of astronomy in Western Maryland, features an 8-inch telescope built by Alvan Clark and Sons, an observation deck, classrooms and a library. The lens of the telescope was originally made for the Harvard College Observatory in the early 1870s and was used for some of the earliest photographic studies of stellar spectra. The telescope's objective lens is still in excellent condition and having been designed for visual rather than photographic use, is actually better for elementary astronomy than some modern refractors.
Hood opens the observatory to the community for special events or whenever favorable viewing conditions for planets or other popular sights are present.

Can foundries catch up with high-k 32nm race?
Keywords:32nm node high-k dialectrics metal gates foundry partner
While top foundries are just beginning to ramp their 45nm processes, vendors are already eyeing the next, and perhaps the biggest challenge to date—the race to develop and ship high-k dielectrics and metal gates for the 32nm node.
High-k and metal gates are key building blocks for scaling and enabling the next-generation transistor. But the technologies' complexity raises questions about whether foundries can ramp production with high-k materials and metal gates in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Right foundry partners
Complicating matters, the movement to high-k/metal gate has split into factions that variously embrace gate-first, replacement-gate and hybrid approaches. Chipmakers must hope they bet on the right foundry technology in a complex arena where no clear winners have yet emerged.
IBM Corp. and its joint development partners—Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Freescale Semiconductor, Infineon and Samsung—have not formally announced their 32nm process. But at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in Washington, IBM disclosed that it had devised a high-k gate-first technology for the node. The technology will be available to IBM and its alliance partners—including foundry members Chartered and Samsung—in the second half of 2009.
Meanwhile, rival foundry giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd (TSMC) is quietly readying its own high-k/metal gate technology but has not announced a timetable for release. TSMC has said its general 32nm process is slated for "risk production" by Q3 or Q4 of 2009.
Other leading-edge foundries, including Fujitsu, Semiconductor International Manufacturing Corp., Toshiba and United Microelectronics Corp., are separately developing high-k/metal-gate solutions.
High-k challenge
But with the foundries' hands full ramping their complex 45nm processes, do they have what it takes to bring high-k and metal-gate technologies into production at 32 nm? High-k development is complex, costly and difficult. At the 32nm node, overall process-development costs could hit Rs.11,837.99 crore ($3 billion)—twice the cost seen at 65 nm, according to Gartner Inc.
Thus far, only Intel Corp. and NEC Electronics Inc. have announced they are shipping logic devices equipped with high-k materials. Intel is shipping processors based on high-k and metal gates at the 45nm node while NEC has delivered ASICs based on high-k at 55nm.
"The challenges for a foundry to develop high-k are the same as for an IDM," said Dean Freeman, an analyst at Gartner. "They need to develop a transistor process that integrates the high-k [dielectric with the] metal-gate stack. The challenge is to integrate the process correctly."
The separate PMOS and NMOS materials must be integrated into a scaled CMOS device. And there are fundamental side-effects in moving to high-k, notably threshold voltage pinning, which can impair performance.
Perhaps a larger question than who can bring high-k/metal gates to market is who requires them. The technology is ideal for wireless devices, where low-standby power is required. But "many consumer applications will not need high-k and metal gates," Freeman said. "This is due in part to cost.
"Based on input from our customers, the demand for high-k materials only arises when working with process technologies below 32 nm. At larger process nodes, the benefits of using high-k materials are unclear, so therefore we have not experienced any customer demand," said Rakesh Sethi, director of business development for the custom SoC and foundry business unit at Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc.
Logic offering
High-k is not a new technology; DRAM vendors have used it for some time to reduce capacitor size in shrinking memory designs. What's new is the use of high-k dielectrics and metal gates as enablers of leading-edge logic.
For decades, logic IC makers have used silicon dioxide as the key insulator for the transistor gate dielectric, while deploying polysilicon to form the gate electrodes for both the NMOS and PMOS transistors. That combination worked until the 90nm node, when the industry could no longer scale the SiO2 gate dielectric. That, in turn, caused leakage and power consumption to soar.
To combat the problem at the 90-, 65- and 45nm nodes, most chip makers have devised strain engineering techniques that have forestalled the need to change the gate dielectric or electrode materials. Beyond 45nm, high-k materials are expected to replace silicon dioxide, while metal gates are targeted to displace the polysilicon-enabled electrode. High-k is based on hafnium materials that are not compatible with polysilicon.
IBM's 32nm tech
Some companies are ahead of the curve. Intel is shipping 45nm processors that use a replacement-gate approach, as opposed to the gate-first technology used by IBM. In a gate-first approach, the gate stack is formed before the source and drain, as in a conventional CMOS process. Replacement-gate technologies are a gate-last approach, where the gate stack is formed after source and drain.
Last January, IBM and its technology partners announced a high-k/metal gate technology for the 45nm node. IBM described the technology as a "proprietary" approach geared for undisclosed products in the 2008 time frame.
There has been speculation that IBM is having integration problems with the PMOS portion of the technology and that the problems are delaying the process for its partners. But in a recent interview, Gary Patton, vice president of IBM's Semiconductor Research and Development Center, said the company's high-k technology is on track.
IBM has yet to roll out high-k in a product. One IBM partner, AMD, desperately requires high-k at 45nm to keep up with Intel. But in a move that raises questions about the readiness of IBM's technology, AMD said it has yet to make a commitment to use high-k at 45nm, saying instead that the dielectric shift is an "option" at that node.
AMD will include high-k/metal-gate technology in its 32nm products, said John Pellerin, AMD's director of logic technology development and project leader on a joint development effort with IBM. AMD expects to begin production of its 32nm high-k chips sometime in 2010.
IBM and its partners claim to have developed a low-power foundry CMOS technology using the high-k gate-first approach and have demonstrated 32nm SRAMs, with cell sizes below 0.15µ², that are the first working 32nm parts to use the gate-first high-k approach.
The characteristics of the high-k material reduce total chip power consumption by as much as a 45 per cent compared with the technology used at 45nm, a critical factor for achieving longer battery life in handhelds, IBM said.
TSMC-IMEC tie-up
TSMC, for its part, "has been working with IMEC [the Interuniversity Microelectronics Center] on high-k and metal gates, as well as with their partners, such as Texas Instruments, for several years," said Gartner's Freeman.
TSMC "appears to be capable of releasing a high-k/metal gate process in the second generation of its 45nm node in late 2008 or early 2009," Freeman said.
A more likely scenario is that TSMC will offer the technology at the 32nm node in the second half of 2009. TSMC tipped its hand as part of an IEDM announcement from IMEC, which reported progress in improving the performance of CMOS using hafnium-based, high-k dielectrics and tantalum-carbide metal gates targeting the 32nm node.
A major challenge in using high-k dielectrics for CMOS devices is the high threshold voltage, resulting in low performance. But IMEC claims to have developed a simple, lower-cost integration scheme using only one dielectric stack and one metal. A thin dielectric cap is deposited between the gate dielectric and metal gate, modulating the work function toward the optimal operating zone, according to IMEC. Both a lanthanum- and a dysprosium-based capping layer were used for NMOS, with an aluminum-based capping layer used for PMOS. With the technology, IMEC's partners TSMC and NXP were able to demonstrate what the companies said was an "excellent drive current" specification.

[1] The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a secretive multi-nation trade agreement that seeks, among other things, to rewrite the global rules on intellectual property enforcement. It is being negotiated behind closed doors by a group of 600 industry lobbyist "advisors" and un-elected government trade representatives.
[2] Public interest groups have obtained the February 2011 draft of the TPP's Intellectual Property Rights Chapter and the TPP text on copyright Limitations and Exceptions. The text shows that the TPP would criminalize many everyday uses of the Internet, and give Big Media more Internet lockdown powers.
